This is my new favourite coat! I purchased it during Old Navys insane Black Friday sale where everything was 50% off. I will get so much use out of this coat and am so happy I stuck out the 45 minute line and made the purchase. Note to self: do NOT go to Old Navy again during a Black Friday sale. Purchase online! I was in the line-up for 45 minutes waiting to pay. Of course while waiting I found other things, like jewellery and bags, that I HAD to buy (only to later return). Darn you impulse buying! This is an outfit I wore to my second job, at Nygard International. Note to anyone working in retail: use a big purse and pack a second pair of shoes, change your shoes when your feet and back start hurting. It helps the pain! Cheers,Bhreagh

It's that wonderful time of the year when we all gather for holiday parties and stuff ourselves with delicious food while we're dressed in beautiful clothing! It's my favourite time of year! For this post I thought I would pull some beautiful dresses together that could be worn to any holiday party. Note that all dresses have a little room for a growing food belly!

I love all of these dresses and would wear any of them, but my favourites are #1, #3 and #6. I can't wait for my first Christmas party so I can dress super girly and eat yummy food. I found these dresses on Polyvore. To view them or more sets, click here.Happy Holidays,Bhreagh

Tired is an understatement to how I'm feeling. I layed in bed Sunday starting at 5 and only left to go to the bathroom. While in bed I decided to write some blog posts and create outfits. The above outfit was my plan for my tired Monday wardrobe! Comfy jeggings, Toms, a loose tank and the most amazing black over-sized sweater I own. Mine is from Nygard, see here, and it's incredible how cozy I feel when wearing this. I could sleep in this sweater! It will be my new go-to for days I want to be comfortable but not look sloppy, and I might go back and buy other colours.My lazy day hair is a top knot. This is by far the easiest hair style, especially when you want to sleep in a little longer. All you do is pull your hair in to a high pony tail, twist it then wrap it around the base of the pony tail (by the elastic) and put another hair elastic over to hold. I use up-do bobby pins to hold some pieces in place and hair spray, then I'm ready for the day!I created this outfit on Polyvore! To view it, and my other sets, please click here.

Since the weather has been freezing I've decided to blog about coats. My love for coats has grown from ten year old Bhreagh wearing a purple Columbia winter-jacket, and obviously thinking I'm the coolest person in the world, to grown up Bhreagh wearing pea coats to work. I've been on the hunt for the perfect coat and found multiple that I want! Since the weather is getting colder does that mean I can go buy them all?

I'm definitely hittng up Old Navy, and may even make my purchase online because of the 25% off Black Friday promo. Check out the deals here and you'll be seeing me wearing my new Blanket Coat next week. My only dilemma is what colour to buy!Cheers,Bhreagh

If you want to create a full wardrobe I believe you should start off with basics. From there you will be able to add pieces and produce a full and unique wardrobe tailored to your style. I’ve put together some basics that make changing your wardrobe and look easy as pie!

1. Jackets & Coats: I believe every wardrobe needs a simple black blazer. Blazers are so versatile and can be worn throughout the entire year. Also, my denim jacket gets worn so often that I'm almost in need of a new one. It is one of my favourite pieces of clothing. Living in Halifax means the weather tends to get cold and stay cold, so I have two jackets that will work for the winter- a pea coat and a thick winter coat.2. Tops: With simples in your wardrobe, like black and white tees and tanks, it gives you the freedom to wear whatever you please and accessorize to your heart’s desire. Dressing up these items is so easy. Also necessary is a sweater and white blouse. 3. Shoes: My FAVE! You can do so much with a black or nude flat. You can dress them up or down and wear them with pretty much any outfit. For dressier events you can do a black heel and on colder days you can throw on a boot.4. Bottoms: Black skinnies and denim flares are my go to for pants. My job doesn't require business attire, but it’s more of a business casual environment. Jeans are okay to wear to work, but they must be dressed up. Along with jeans, I think having a great pair of dress pants is important as is a simple black skirt. 5. Dresses: All I can say is an LBD (little black dress) is vitally important to girls! Not only is black EXTREMELY flattering but you can change up the look and re-wear the dress over and over again. Having a bright coloured party dress always helps too!6. Bags: I can't even count the number of bags I have, but they are mostly black, brown or beige. Having one of each colour would suffice, but I can'tpart with them. They're like my children!

So, this is my idea of having basics in your wardrobe. With these easy items you can build a wardrobe that is timeless while accessorizing to give it your own flare!

I love the Holidays, in case you haven't already figured this out. I've watched Love Actually two full times since I brought it out of the vault only two weeks. This number will get substantially higher! One great thing about the holiday is parties, and at these parties the attire tends to be a little fancier than normal. I like to whip out some glam jewellery for these events. I've been searching for some holiday jewellery, and above are some of my faves. More jewellery I'm loving include:J. Crew Factory NecklaceForever 21 Chain Link NecklaceKate Spade NY NecklaceBCBG Gold BraceletI could have added 100 more things to this list! There is gorgeous jewellery at The Hudsons Bay Company right now. They have a wide assortment of necklaces, bracelets, earrings for reasonable prices. Also, J. Crew Factory has a great selection and most are 40% off! Cheers,Bhreagh

Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favourite designers but is extremely out of my price range. When I saw the Becky Silk Jacket on Julia of Gal Meets Glam, see here, I loved it and have been searching for a similar less expensive version. I'll save the idea of owning anything Rebecca Minkoff until I can afford it. I found the BB Dakota Carrie Crepe blazer, which is very similar but has some minor alterations. This blazer is shorter, but not quite a crop, doesn't have the detail on the front and isn't the same blue but it's close enough for me! I would absolutely splurge on this blazer. The steal I found is from Dynamite, and even though the colour is much softer it is very similar to the two other blazers. It's not silk, but it's a very light weight fabric that moves easily and is wildly comfortable (I have two other Dynamite blazers, one is worn here). Not to mention the prices of all three are totally different- $400.00, $98.00 and $22.00 (on sale) respectively for save, splurge and steal. I love "window shopping" for designer duds but I know I can't afford them at this point of my life. My goal is to find clothing that will last, is good quality and has similarities to desinger/high end brands. Cheers,Bhreagh

It's that time of year when the weather gets colder and the days get shorter. It was -5 degrees this morning and I had to scrape my car ... I'm not prepared for this! I want Fall to be here much longer but the air is cool and I've officially pulled out my Uggs. I guess it's about that time to prepare my body for the drastic shift in weather. Below are my cold weather essentials and I feel ALL are necessary to get through a cold east coast winter!

On a cold winter day you will find me cuddled on the couch in my leggings, fuzzy socks, oversized sweater and slippers with Davids Tea watching my usual TV shows or hitting up a new Netflix series. Everything seems to dry out in the winter- your hair, lips and skin- and my cure, along with many others, is to moisturize until I can no longer moisturize! Burts Bees Lip Balm is my all-time fav and is one of the only thing that works in healing my chapped lips. On my hair I use Moroccan Oil and sometimes use various hair masks to keep it strong. I love Nivea body wash, and am currently using this one. It moisturizes but also exfoliates which is perfect for colder weather. Lubriderm is my GO-TO body lotion. I use this one, and it's the ONLY body lotion I've used until there was none left. I just bought more because I love how my skins feels. Whats one of the best parts of winter? Aside from the snow, and yes I'm that crazy person who LOVES snow, I love winter drinks! Candy Cane Lattes and Red Velvet Cake Tea from Davids Tea makes me excited for Christmas, while spiked eggnog makes me excited for Christmas Eve! And yes, you read that right- Red Velvet Cake Tea! It is cake in a cup and OH MY LANTA it's delicious!Although the weather gets substantially colder, and you can't wear dresses without tights or walk in the snow in your flats, I'm excited to pull out my heavy jackets and winter boots and play in the snow! One thing I SHOULD invest in is an automatic car starter so I don't have to freeze while scraping my car or go outside in my pajamas. Here's to hoping it stays Fall a little bit longer!Cheers,Bhreagh

Tomorrow is my best friend Kristies birthday and I'm so excited to celebrate with her! The down side is I work until 9pm, which means I have to be practically ready to go out from work. We got a hotel room in downtown Halifax so we don't have to worry about the commute meaning I'll be going there immediately after work to quicky get ready and head to Kristies favourite pub, The Old Triangle! I plan on having my hair ready and wearing a cute outfit to work that I can quickly dress up so I can be ready even faster!

The outfit below is my idea of a day to nighjt outfit with a few subtles changes. I love wearing sweaters with a button up underneath and it looks especially cute with a skirt. It's cold outside so I need tights and my blazer will double as a jacket for the night.

I love this red skirt! It's one you can absolutely dress up or down, wear to work or out for drinks with friends. This belt is similar to one I have but mine has gold chain links. The difference in lipstick is that Sugar is a lip gloss and treatement that makes your lips feel amazing where as the Revlon lipstick is a stain that will last all night so I don't need to worry about re-applying. And, flats are a must when you live in Halifax for the sole reason that it's built on a hill! I can't wait to give Kristie her birthday present, celebrate her turning the young age of 24 and possibly post some hilarious pictures of us as kids! Tomorrow, the post is all about Kristie :)!Cheers,Bhreagh

I love leather, or pleather if you can't afford the real stuff like me! I'm finding myself being drawn more towards leather/pleather but I still want my outfits to feel girly and cute. A great way is to wear cute accessories! I love chunky necklaces and a jean jacket is a staple in my wardrobe, so the first outfit is my favourite! But, the blue skirt in number two is absolutely adorable! I never post things I wouldn't wear, and I adore all these outfits! Maybe I'll win the lottery and be able to buy all of them!I can't stop making outfits on Polyvore. It's so fun and it's my way of fake shopping! It's also a great way to put together an outfit idea before you go shopping. Cheers,Bhreagh
